Amidst lockdown, staying grounded, Airlines in India engage in hilarious banter

New Delhi, Apr 10: The private airlines which have been grounded due to the lockdown engaged today in friendly banter on Twitter.

The conversation was started by IndiGo, which poked fun at Vistara."Hey @airvistara, not #flyinghigher these days we heard?" #StayingParkedStayingSafe.

Vistara was quick to respond and even invited GoAir to join the conversation.

No 😌 @IndiGo6E, these days being on-ground is a wonderful thing. Flying would not be the ‘smart’ choice, what say @goairlinesindia? #StayingParkedStayingSafe

GoAir too joined the conversation and said ,"totally, @airvistara! Staying home is the safe feeling! We can hardly wait till everyone takes to the skies, coz at the moment it's not like #NowEveryoneCanFly right, @AirAsiaIndian?"

It was then the turn of AirAsia to join the conversation.

Absolutely @goairlinesindia, for now though, staying at home is the Red. Hot. Spicy thing to do! Isn't that right @flyspicejet?! #StayingParkedStayingSafe

SpiceJet then decided to reply. " @AirAsiaIndian, good to know our thoughts match, like our colours (read red)! Been a while since this bird flew out of her cage. But we're happy creating a safer tomorrow, today! Right @DelhiAirport".
